I'm Still in High School
Chapter 36 I am a winner
Ball Rooms
Due to the large number of invited guests present at the hotel, the final evaluation event and the announcement of the Physics and Chemistry Olympics were held in the hotel's ball room. This Olympic event is very prestigious, and is the attention of Scientist all over the world. Gwen sat in a row with other Olympic participants in the corner of the ball room. While the accompanying guests, placed on the round table in the same room. Event after event took place, and greetings from related parties have also been held.
"Gwen... are you tense waiting for the announcement..?" Chakra who sat beside Gwen, asked the girl. The young man did indeed continue to docked beside the girl, as if not giving the other a chance to get to know the girl more closely.
"Ga tuh.. relax I'm Chakr.. For me to win or lose there will be no problem.. Because it is not the desire of my own heart, I joined in this Olympics. The school party forced me to join.." Gwen casually responded to Chakra's question.
Gwen smilingly waved at the round table, as it appeared that Aldo was watching from the direction of his seat, The gaze of the male's eyes shone sharply, shining sharply, looking at Gwen seemed familiar with the Chakra sitting beside her, While Chakra felt ignored by Gwen, because when answering her question, the girl did not look at her. The young man followed Gwen's gaze, and saw Aldo smiling at the girl sitting next to him.
"Mmmmphh, it seems that the man you are smiling at is not Om Andrew.. Who is Gwen, why do you know her..?" full of probing, Chakra asked the girl.
Hearing Chakra's question, Gwen turned her gaze toward the man. It made Aldo grow furious, and from his seat looked at Chakra with a dislike gaze.
"Aldo you mean Chakr. If so, the young man was a good friend of mine, well, you could say that we were friends at school. It just so happened that we were one class, and knowing that if I was in this Olympic preliminary round, Aldo and Asep, my friends, followed me here. There were two escort teachers also from the school party who accompanied me Chakra.. Happy which one I seek Chakra for. There is Om, a good friend, and also a companion teacher who accompanies me in the ball room.." lightly, Gwen responds to Chakra's question.
"Wowww.it's really cool, Gwen.. Besides papa and mama, the Headmaster also came. Just this morning, he landed, but I haven't found where he's sitting.." Chakra shrieked, and the man looked relieved. When he saw Aldo, he was hesitant and worried that he was Gwen's lover.
"Pastilah Chakr. Let's listen to the stage. It's not polite, if we just had a conversation since then." the girl finally reminded the friend sitting next to her. The two young men set their eyes towards the stage, looking at the course of the event.
After the reception event was completed, it was seen that the host of the event went back up to the middle of the stage accompanied by the Chairman of the event Committee. The presence of the Chairman of the committee, it turns out, will convey the results of the Olympic assessment.
"The series of events after events we have done, and the time came for the Chairman of the committee
will convey who is the winner in the Physics and Chemistry Olympiad in 2023. And what we need to know together, three winners at the Asian level will get the opportunity to join the Olympics on an international level. To Mister Eiji Akihiko to read out who is number one for the Asian level.." the host gives the opportunity on*Chairman of the committee* to be in control.
Seen tension on the faces of the contestants, only Gwen looked relaxed. The girl had never made a target about what she would achieve, could participate only because it was sent by the school. Aldo and Asep instead as well as two uptight looking companion teachers, occasionally they look towards Gwen, even though the girl does not look at them.
"Level two obtained representatives from the host country, namely Singapore... For ananda Steven Holland please come forward." applause resounded as the Chairman of the committee continued his announcement,.
"Gwen. Are you with Gwen...?" from beside him, Chakra asked Gwen.
"Just relax Chakra, winning or losing won't mean much to me. I came here, just to represent the school, and get a dispensation did not join the national exam. So winning or losing is the same thing to me..." Gwen smiled, and answered Chakra's question.
"Hemph is also right Gwen.at least we have gained a lot of experience by competing in this country.." finally Chakra justifies the opinion of the girl.
"Well, now for the main one, as the favorite participant or contestant of all the judges, also at the same time has the highest value almost no mistakes at all. Participants this time came from the country of Indonesia, to Miss Gwen Alvaretta begged to come forward.." rumbling applause combined with the music of spirit builders back pounding in the ball room, the,
Gwen still does not realize if her name is set as the main winner, and also as the favorite winner. The girl was still engrossed in talking to Chakra, until the Chairman of the Committee repeated his announcement.
"Gwen, it looks like your name was named by the Chairman of the Committee.. Look at everyone in this ball room looking at you, you're the winner Gwen.. Go ahead.." Chakra asked the girl ahead.
But Gwen herself hesitated because she did not hear the announcement herself. Suddenly, one of the commitees walks towards him.
"Miss Gwen, go ahead, you're the Olympic winner Miss.." the young woman asked Gwen to come forward.
"Me... I am a winner...?" in disbelief, Gwen pointed to herself instead,
"True Miss ahead.., hear almost all the guests and participants say your name.." Simultaneous accompaniment to mention the name of the girl, heard in Gwen's ears.
Finally after looking towards the Chakra, and the girl sitting beside him, Gwen immediately stood up then stepped foot towards the stage. From the direction where he was sitting, Aldo unconsciously stood to give encouragement to the girl he loved. Sitting beside Barra, Atmadja's grandfather wiped away the tears of not believing what was seen before his eyes.
